– Ummm, it’s not that interesting really, but here it goes. As you may remember, the very day that Angie was born, was the same day I had gathered the courage to tell Carmen I loved her, well we never planned to leave, it was just that in the first six month of our relation ship I was very scared, ‘cause you know, I was doing something I never thought I’d do or even wanted to, so it scared the shit out of me. And after a brief encounter to Cherie Jafee, I decided I had to get out of here if I wanted this to work which I did, so I told Carmen, I wanted to start over, and try to be what she wanted me to be, what she deserved, and I asked her to run away with me, surprisingly she said yes, and that same day we picked a place to start our lives together and New York was the place. So as you remember I only left you a note Carmen did the same for her family, and the next day we woke up in New York City. About the not talking to you guys in a year was because I didn’t wanted to call ‘till I was sure I had made the right choice by leaving, and by trying to do something so radically different. So we both found very good jobs, we were able to rent a nice apartment and started to build the life that we wanted, when everything was perfect we thought it would be nice to have a little baby, so we started the research of possibilities, and Carmen wanted to be the birth mother, so the journey began, it took a few months for her to get pregnant, but it happened and we both we so fucking happy, you guys, it’s the best feeling ever, quite scary too…

 But  we lost the baby eight weeks later, and all that happiness turned into a huge pain, I’ve never felt anything like that before, it was like someone just took a huge chunk of my heart, we were devastated, that’s why we didn’t call. But the doctor said that we could try again as soon as we wanted and Carmen was brave enough to try again, and when we found out that she was pregnant again all the happiness came back but we wanted to be careful this time so we were gonna wait ‘till the third month to tell you guys, but when Bette called I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to say it, so we waited a bit longer, and that’s about it.- Shane finished smiling at everyone and holding tight to Carmen’s hand.
